WE ALL HAVE WHAT IT TAKES!!

2KINGS 4:1-6 KJV

1 Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my two sons to be bondmen.

FROM this verse, we see that a SITUATIONAL problem was gonna get GENERATIONAL. The debt of the father was gonna mean a generation of slaves. Fathers, Parents to be... lets think before we get our children in trouble, I think borrowing is not wrong but the family should know what it is for.


2 And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.

The lady had oil but claimed to have NOTHING.... U have life, u have health, you have friends... U have something. ALWAYS... God made us SEED-full and calls us to be FRUITFUL (Gen 1:22)

3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

Borrowing from your neighbours... CAN THEY LEND YOU? imagine a situation where her neighbours would not lend her. A principle that i use before i lend now is, can i afford to lose what am lending out. It has grown after a series of mistakes. HAVE good neighbours, be a good neighbour. You need people as much as they need you.


4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.

Isolation is good for the soul. It should be deliberate and focused. People need to shut the doors of distraction and perfect their gift. Multiply it. How we are quick to sell before we gathered enough.(I fall culprit here!!)




5 So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.


6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.


THE MIRACLE of MULTIPLICATION HAPPENS with you using the Little that you have without interruption. Gather confidence in how to apply it and then sell it to the PUBLIC.
Your family is the first market you have. can you bake cakes edible enough for your family... then the public is ready. If your family thinks you are a bad cook... catering is not your business.



7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.


SET YOUR SELF FREE!!!

Be blessed!
